Paws in the snow

I saw these today while getting the morning paper. Can anyone tell me what animal made these?

Thanks

Looks like cat to me.

I agree with Bill, cat prints.

I believe your right Bill!

We have lived here for 15 years, and I have never seen a feral cat or dog. Plenty of other wildlife.

Thanks

That's a kitty cat for sure. Very round, where a canine track would be more oval. Canine tracks would also show claws, especially in that light snow cover. And canines also typically leave a 2x2 track pattern, their hind foot falls beside their front foot. Cats often step their hind foot directly into the front foot track.

Thanks for the info😺

At our old house, my wife had three regulars that were feral, that she fed at breakfast and dinner. The city had a catch and release program that got the cats spayed, and clipped the ear tip so you knew they were not going to reproduce. I hope it stays that way for you where you live. I feel bad for these little furry critters.
